FYI you don't necessarily have to do a video essay on Star Wars. SFDebris has already done a really indepth examination on its creation all the way up to the sale to Disney.
Lucas at least had an excuse - he had no idea if Star Wars was going to be successful so it makes sense for him to not have a plan beyond a vague outline.
Disney paid FOUR BILLION DOLLARS for the thing. They KNEW they were going to make a trilogy, it was practically demanded of the price tag. They had no excuse for not having a plan other than a cargo-cult style belief that if it worked for Lucas it would work for them. (which just makes it all that much dumber)

"(I time-stamped his hilarious reaction, but you can also watch the whole video if you’re interested.)"
I dig wendigoon and will probably watch the whole video later, but the timestamp seems to have not worked. Which reaction point do you intend?
